Coyle suffered a broken bone in his back in addition to a concussion, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Coyle was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, meaning the linebacker will miss at least six weeks while he works to recover. He could be a candidate to return as the season progresses, but San Francisco won't make a definitive choice in the near future.
